Talk:Nonwa (tinwëa)

What is the origin of the ending -wa? Iron gollum 11:18, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * This should be nonwa (< CE *not-wâ). Sorry for misleading.--Bellenion 14:36, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * I am still a bit confused... Why do you use possessive here? Would the object-related ending -il not make more sense? Iron gollum 15:11, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * The CE or PE -wâ denotes an implement frequently as we have abundant examples, e.g. Quenya sungwa "drinking-vessel" (< PE suk "drink" + -mâ) and yanwa "bridge, joining, isthmus" (< PE yat "join" + -mâ) which was later changed to yanwë. --Bellenion 08:32, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry for sounding so stupid, but where does non come from? Last Waterbender 05:52, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
